In 1999, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission stated that cribs provide the safest sleep environment for infants. Scientific data fails to support that statement and controversy continues in the scientific, medical, and parenting communities. Recent data demonstrate that cribs may represent the most unsafe sleep. This article seeks to inform health care professionals of the issues involv...

Conversion of scientific achievements to market a product is a key issue and the best description of significance of science for society. In the case of experts in the natural sciences in Poland, we observe a high intellectual potential of researchers and several scientific discoveries. However, Polish inventions are very rarely available on the market and the number of national and internation...

Parallel computation is widely employed in scientific researches, engineering activities and product development. Parallel program writing itself is not always a simple task depending on problems solved. Large-­‐scale scientific computing, huge data analyses and precise visualizations, for example, would require parallel computations, and the parallel computing needs the parallelization techniq...

Structured elements are pervasive in digital libraries, product catalogs, scientific data collections and on the Internet. One of our research aims is to investigate the ways in which the additional structure of a collection can be brought to bear on retrieval effectiveness. This paper reports on our experiments on the use of manually assigned keywords in domain specific collections; on the use...

Honey has been used as a wound treatment for more than 2,000 years. Greater scientific understanding of how it works, particularly as an antibacterial agent, has led practitioners to reconsider the therapeutic value of honey. Once honey is commercially available as a regulated product in the UK, practitioners will have access to an effective, alternative wound treatment. Specific, sterilised ho...

This paper deals with deriving software products from a software product line (SPL) in an efficient and automated way. We present an approach that (1) represents the SPL with a set of integrated models, (2) specifies variability and configuration options for possible product variants and (3) automatically derives executable products with model transformations and aspect-oriented techniques. The...

Grassroots innovation is defined as innovative product or process created at the bottom of the pyramid, usually due to necessity, hardship and challenges. This article seek to understand and examine how grassroots innovation creates productive employment. This article briefly explain the role of Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia, a government agency setup to nurture and support scientific innovation, in...

For designers, featural and functional characteristics of a product are the obvious means to express its functionalities. Usage as intended in a design may be conceived as being mediated by product semantics or affordances. These concepts primarily involve scientific generalisations. Usecues are introduced as a pragmatic design tool. There is a brief discussion of experience with the notion of ...

The purpose of this paper is to study some properties of cartesian product of fuzzy completely prime ideals and fuzzy completely semiprime ideals of Γ-semigroups. Operator semigroups of a Γ-semigroup has been made to work by obtaining various relationships between cartesian product of fuzzy ideals (fuzzy completely prime ideals, fuzzy completely semiprime ideals) of a Γ-semigroup and that of it...
